All the people I know here in Ireland would think I'm crazy if they knew how many hours I've spent researching crypto and memecoins. 😂 The late nights in the trenches, watching charts, tracking wallets, digging into projects and trying to understand technology I'm not even particularly tech-savvy with. To most people around me, it's a waste of time. People here can be quick to knock something they don't understand rather than encourage you to give it a go. I got into crypto towards the end of 2023, when Solana memecoins were taking off. Back then, I was mainly buying through Raydium, watching devs and worrying about rugs. I remember visiting Pump.fun during its first week. There were far fewer coins, I remember King of the Hill, and sometimes you'd be waiting ages for a coin to migrate to Raydium. 😂 It's mad how much has changed. From celebrity rugs and livestreams getting shut down, to TRUMP, periods when nothing was moving, and livestreams returning. Now people are being paid crazy money for callouts and coins are launching constantly. I've had wins, made mistakes and learned some expensive lessons. More recently, I've become interested in the tech side of crypto, particularly privacy, encryption and projects actually building something useful. With my IRL friends having no interest in crypto, it's been good to meet people through CT who understand what you're talking about. I've met some sound people, including my bro @Ireland_Sol and Dan @Bagphilosopher, along with others through different communities. Having people you can trust, share research with and learn from is important in a space like this. There's no denying the ugly side of memecoins. The rugs, scams and losses. But where else can someone potentially turn a few hundred dollars into something life-changing? Most won't make it, but the opportunity is there. One of my biggest lessons is that you don't need to catch every trade. Protecting your capital and waiting for the right opportunities is just as important. I've been tracking your wallet for a while too, bro. Only recently noticed your linked X on Axiom. 😂 Going from trading in the trenches to giving back $15,000 shows what's possible. After all the hours spent learning, researching and making mistakes, being selected would genuinely mean a lot. It would feel like a bit of recognition for the effort I've put into something I genuinely believe has opportunities for ordinary people. Fair play for giving back, @Chairman_DN. Best of luck, everyone!
